A complete range of modern, exible stainless steel components
for Industrial refrigeration
Based on advanced technology the ICF SS valve
station incorporates several functions in one
housing, which can replace a series of
conventional mechanical, electro-mechanical
and electronically operated valves.
This valve station not only provides a number
of advantages in the design phase of a
refrigeration plant but also in the installation,
service and maintenance.
The ICF SS valve stations are designed for low
and high pressure refrigerants and can be used
in pumped liquid lines, liquid injection lines
and hot gas lines.
Supplied as a complete assembly, it is fully
tested at high pressure and its functions are
tested under factory controlled conditions.
One code number equals one application
solution.

Valve station, Type ICF SS 20 and ICF SS 25
Features
• Designed for industrial refrigeration applications for a maximum working pressure of 52 bar / 754 psig
• Applicable to HCFC, non ammable HFC, R717 (Ammonia) and R744 (CO2). The use of ICF SS valve stations with
ammable hydrocarbons is not recommended
• Direct weld connections (No leaks through anges)
• Stainless steel valve housing and function modules
• Low weight and compact design
• V-port regulating cones on the control modules ensure optimum regulating accuracy particularly at part load
• Modular Concept
◦ Each housing is available with butt-weld DIN connections in several sizes. Valve service is performed by
replacing the function module
• Side ports for the connection of pressure gauges, transmitters, sight glasses, service valve etc
To facilitate selection of the right ICF SS valve station Danfoss has predened and grouped a large number of code
numbers matching common applications:

NOTE:
For specicidentication of the dierent codes and ow capacity (Kv) please refer to ordering section.
Examples of application:
Liquid feed line
A valve combination for a ooded evaporator operating on/o from a thermostat and with electric defrost is
required. Manual override of the solenoid valve is requested. Common ICF SS congurations for this kind of
application is shown here:
Not all valves are shown. Not to be used for construction purposes.
Liquid feed line/Hot gas defrost line
Evaporator with soft opening gas powered valve ICLX in the suction line and hot gas defrost featuring: ICF SS liquid
feed station and ICF SS Hot gas station with side port to power ICLX. ICS+CVP as a defrost regulator (OFV optional
depending on capacity).
Not all valves are shown. Not to be used for construction purposes.
Liquid injection line
A valve combination for liquid injection to separator with electronic injection valve is required. It is requested to
have a solenoid valve in front of the control valve.
NOTE:
Not all valves are shown. Not to be used for construction purposes.
Liquid injection line
A valve combination for compressor liquid injection with electronic injection valve is required. It is a required to
have a solenoid valve in front of the control valve.

Refrigerants
Applicable to HCFC, non ammable HFC, R717 (Ammonia) and R744 (CO2). The use of ICF SS valve stations with
ammable hydrocarbons is not recommended.
New refrigerants
Danfoss products are continually evaluated for use with new refrigerants depending on market requirements.
When a refrigerant is approved for use by Danfoss, it is added to the relevant portfolio, and the R number of the
refrigerant (e.g. R513A) will be added to the technical data of the code number. Therefore, products for specic
refrigerants are best checked at store.danfoss.com/en/, or by contacting your local Danfoss representative.

Ordering
Below Nomenclature show the generic conguration and application by identication of housing size, type and
application group.
This designation is often used for discussion on possible solutions and will be the nalidentication on the valve
label (see label example).
Figure 30: Label example:
For ordering, connection size and type must be chosen to get the nalidentication. The nalidentication is
done by code number only. See (Page 20 to Page 25)
Code number selection
To determine the correct ICF SS valve station follow steps 1 through 5.
Step 1 Determine application and function requirements
• Line: Pumped liquid, Liquid Injection, Hot gas defrost, Liquid DX etc
• Control:On/o solenoid valve, motorised valve
• Defrost: Electric or hot gas
NOTE:
From the above determine the application reference number. See (Page 20 to Page 25)
Step 2 Selection criteria - Please use Coolselector®2
Download the software from: http://refrigerationandairconditioning.danfoss.com/support-center/apps-andsoftware/coolselector/
• Refrigerant
• Capacity
• Temperature
• Circulation rate
NOTE:
From the above determine the valve station required, e.g.: ICF SS 20 complete with ICM SS 20-C
Step 3 Establish connection sizes and type
• DIN butt-weld / ANSI butt-weld
• 20 (¾ in.), 25 (1 in.), 32 (1 ¼ in.) or 40 (1 ½ in.)
Step 4 Establish code number. See (Page 20 to Page 25)

NOTE:
ICAD and coils are not included and must be ordered separately.
When used in systems with CO2, the o-rings on the ICM module can swell (grow). At service, it is therefore
recommended to install new o-rings, before the ICM function module is re-installed in the ICF SS valve body. ICAD
and coils are not included and must be ordered separately.
